[NEWwoman]

We are bringing you Good News,
telling you to turn from these worthless things
to the living God,
who made the heavens and the earth
and the sea and everything in them.

Acts 14:15 (NIV)

Apollo 8 Genesis Reading – Christmas Eve 1968

------------------------------

Heavenly Father –

As 2018 nears an end, we thank You, Lord, for preserving our nation so far.

Looking back 50 years to 1968, America was fractured on many fronts: the televised Vietnam War, the unpopular draft, assassinations of MLK and RFK, the rise of the counter-culture, unrest, protests, violence. Questioning the very foundations of our nation.

Actor Emilio Estevez commented on the spirit of the times:

You look at 1968
and it was truly the year
that shook the world.
The world was really completely upside down.

It seems more so today. The foundations of America’s house are being torn down—brick by brick—and replaced by a house of straw on a sand foundation.

In any age, Moses reminds us of our short time on this earth:

Our days may come to seventy years,
or eighty, if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away
Psalm 90:10 (NIV)

Yet, at the end of 1968, many in the world looked up—into the heavens—as astronauts orbiting the moon read from Holy Scripture:

In the beginning God….

Our Creator God put us on the earth for His glory. His purposes for us and all creation will not be thwarted. With this confidence, we pray for America to become a blessing to the world through the grace of God.

For 2019, we lift up President Trump. Fill him with Your Spirit and Wisdom. Grant him courage, discernment, and strength as he’s relentlessly attacked on all fronts. Deliver him from betrayal and the treachery by the soft coup of the enemy within.

Protect our brave men and women at our borders. Equip them to protect our country. Frustrate the hypocrites who subvert our immigration process to the harm of our people.

Through the power of Your Spirit, may God’s people be revived and ignite another Great Awakening among We, the People.

In Jesus Name,
Amen

Give thanks to the LORD,
for He is good;
His love endures forever.

Psalm 118:1 (NIV)

Keep praying for America

This Is My Father's World - with Lyrics

This is my Father’s world:
Oh, let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.

This is my Father’s world,
The battle is not done:
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and Heav’n be one.

Amen!!!!!!

And this prayer I am led to repeat for us to pray to deal with our domestic enemies. Bring them down like the walls of Jericho:

Psalm 94

[1] O LORD, thou God of vengeance,
thou God of vengeance, shine forth!
[2] Rise up, O judge of the earth;
render to the proud their deserts!
[3] O LORD, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked exult?
[4] They pour out their arrogant words,
they boast, all the evildoers.
[5] They crush thy people, O LORD,
and afflict thy heritage.
[6] They slay the widow and the sojourner,
and murder the fatherless;
[7] and they say, “The LORD does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
[8] Understand, O dullest of the people!
Fools, when will you be wise?
[9] He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
[10] He who chastens the nations, does he not chastise?
He who teaches men knowledge,
[11] the LORD, knows the thoughts of man,
that they are but a breath.
[12] Blessed is the man whom thou dost chasten, O LORD,
and whom thou dost teach out of thy law
[13] to give him respite from days of trouble,
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
[14] For the LORD will not forsake his people;
he will not abandon his heritage;
[15] for justice will return to the righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.
[16] Who rises up for me against the wicked?
Who stands up for me against evildoers?
[17] If the LORD had not been my help,
my soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence.
[18] When I thought, “My foot slips,”
thy steadfast love, O LORD, held me up.
[19] When the cares of my heart are many,
thy consolations cheer my soul.
[20] Can wicked rulers be allied with thee,
who frame mischief by statute?
[21] They band together against the life of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent to death.
[22] But the LORD has become my stronghold,
and my God the rock of my refuge.
[23] He will bring back on them their iniquity
and wipe them out for their wickedness;
the LORD our God will wipe them out.

[Silentgypsy]

Amen and thank you.

[lysie]

Amen.

AMEN to your beautiful prayer.

Lord, we do remember the turbulent’60’s, but at the same time Your Spirit began a movemt that moved from the West Coast and spread across this Nation and eventually other nations. Father I thank You for 1968 and Your salvation that came to me through the Jesus People Movement. There was a great awakening at that time and I witnessed how Your Spirit moved among us. I was transformed from a hippie on the Sunset Strip to a Bible carrying Jesus Freak being fed from a tent in Costa Mesa and having the boldness to spread the gospel on college campus.
Father, I long to see Your Spirit move once more in awakening our youth. Send Your Messengers to light the Fire. Bring the spark that will ignite the hearts of our people.
Awaken us from the devil’s slumber.
In Jesus name amen.

God forgive me as I know I am a sinner seeking to walk in your grace and I am truly humbled by the actions of your son and my savior Jesus Christ as he garnered the path for us to reconcile with you . I pray today that you continue to bless and protect our President Donald J. Trump and all who support him as he tries to steer our republic back to a God fearing and loving nation rather than the chaotic vicious and Godless mess the dem’s AND rino’s seek . Please God I love this land which you have allowed me to exist on . A land that has protected , educated and provided for me all of these 57 years with abundance and love . I pray that future generations will walk in your light and realize the splendor and love you generate with a thought and spoken word . I love you and understand that I need to be vigilant against satan everyday so that I will be a positive contributor to you and the society I reside in . It is beyond measure the joy you show me daily , please touch the hardened hearts so that America can spread your word and see the enemies both within and abroad who do not exault you . Thank you for loving me God , Jesus and the helper .

[V K Lee]

Joining you in prayer, Dear NEWwoman, in Jesus holy Name, Amen.

[laplata]

Amen.

[Albion Wilde]

What a beautiful prayer and presentation, dear NEWwoman! That was the year the nation turned against God vehemently. We are still suffering from the actions of the drug-crazed youth, marxist intellectuals and anti-Christian media whose heyday had arrived that year.

Dearest Lord, have mercy on us Christians in exile in the land our pilgrim settlers and founders dedicated to You. Restore in us a confident society of believers who are capable and worthy of self-government through personal responsibility and Bible-based virtue, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

[fieldmarshaldj]
